Falling Angels

Still in Claire's POV
I grabbed the mic and entered the room. Andy followed me, holding my hand. I remembered the kiss and stopped dead in my tracks. We kissed. I looked up at him. 'We kissed.' my mind repeated. I didn't know what to say, so I just continued to stare at him. What did this mean? Did he like me? I already knew the answer, but I needed to confirm it. "Did we- Are we-" I stopped and started twice. Did I want to know the answer? What if he didn't feel the same way about me? "Yes, we did and I enjoyed every second of it." Andy answered with a warm smile. "Well then are we-" I stopped again. It was so soon after Juliet. What if it was too soon? Would I just be his rebound girl? Did he still like her? My mind raced with questions. "Do you still like her?" I blurted out. I slapped a hand over my mouth and looked down. "I'm sorry." I apologized. Andy took my head in his hands and made me look into his bright blue eyes. "Don't apologize. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. And as for Juliet-" he leaned in and kissed me. I closed my eyes and kissed him back, but then I remembered the subject of our conversation and pulled back. Andy must have sensed my uncertainty, because he made me look him in the eye again and continued, "The love I feel for you will never compare to the love I felt for Juliet. You are the only one for me. I'd rather chase you than chase her." There was truth in his eyes. I smiled and hugged him. I had only known him for a short time but I already knew that I had found the one.
